About this event
It is with great pleasure that we announce the Flemington Historic Preservation Commission is hosting another “House Tours of Historic Flemington” after an extremely successful tour last year that had over 500 attendees. This year’s tour will be held on Saturday, June 1, 2024 from 11AM to 5PM. Tickets are $25 in advance and $30 the day of the event.
The private homes and public buildings selected for our tour will provide visitors a view into the eclectic architecture of our charming borough, including the largest representation of Victorian architecture outside of Cape May as well as Early 20th Century and stunning examples of Greek Revival, Gothic, Colonial and 2nd Empire, for which Flemington is well known. Over 65% of Flemington’s buildings are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This year’s tour includes the historic Courthouse where the Lindbergh “Trial of the Century” took place in 1935 along with the Barristers Office used for the lawyers during the trial and the historic jail and cellblock where Bruno Hauptmann was detained during the trial.
Engage our docents at each property to learn about how these iconic sites have contributed to the historic fabric of the borough and the surrounding County of Hunterdon. Visit our downtown’s array of boutiques and eateries as well as our brewery and distillery to make your stay with us more memorable. Free parking can be found in lots throughout the borough as well as along the streets of any of our neighborhoods. There is also a free looping trolley passing each of our showcased properties.
As a vibrant community in the midst of exciting changes, we ask that you excuse any issues you may encounter with the revitalization of our Main Street. Several upcoming projects promise to bring even greater opportunities for dining, entertainment and recreation!
Pick up your ticket/guide booklet and you also have the option to buy day of event tickets at the Hunterdon County Chamber of Commerce at 119 Main Street.
Anyone who buys an advance ticket will get a free House Tour cotton tote at check-in when they pick up their ticket/guide booklet on June 1st.
It's a fun community event so plan to spend a few hours enjoying everything that Historic Flemington has to offer! Support Flemington! Spread the word! If interested, plan to spend the day and stay for the extremely popular Flemington Car Show on Main Street starting at 5:30PM.
